When Cheng Yaojin returned to the Cheng residence, it was already 11 o'clock. Everyone was almost asleep at home, except for Cheng Chumo who was still in the living room.
Cheng Chumo knew that Cheng Yaojin had followed Li Er to look for the national prodigy today, and he was very worried.
He looked at the box in his hand and kept thinking.
What was the relationship between Sister Zhi 'er and the three divine children?
Could it really be as I guessed?
"Chumo? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Just as Cheng Chumo was in a daze, Cheng Yaojin walked into the living room.
"Father, you're back." Cheng Chumo quickly stood up." I'll pour you some tea."”
"Alright, I'm really thirsty too. I haven't eaten or drunk anything today. I'm exhausted.”
Cheng Yaojin walked to the chair and sat down.
"Father, didn't you go with His Majesty to find a child protector?" Cheng Chumo asked as he poured tea. Why was he so tired? You didn't find it?"
"It's because I'm looking for them that I'm so tired!”
"Sigh, I don't know if I found it or not.”Cheng Yaojin sighed.
"Father, have some tea." Cheng Chumo brought the tea to Cheng Yaojin and asked with a smile,"Father, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"
Cheng Yaojin took a sip of tea and sighed,""Sigh, don't mention it. You almost couldn't see your father today.”
"What? What happened? Tell me.”Cheng Chumo asked in surprise.
Cheng Yaojin didn't think too much about it and told Cheng Chumo what had happened.
Cheng Chumo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, especially when he heard that the divine child had told the Emperor about her mother.
His Majesty couldn't have thought of it, right?
No, I have to let Sister Zhi 'er know about this.
No matter what, I have to let Sister Zhi 'er be prepared.
"Oh right, Chumo, don't tell anyone about this. His Majesty specially instructed that it can't be spread.”
"You're my son, that's why I'm talking to you. If outsiders find out, it'll be troublesome.”Cheng Yaojin reminded him seriously.
Cheng Chumo quickly smiled and said,"I know the depth of the matter, so I won't say anything."”
"Father, don't drink and nag.”
"Stinky brat, did Father not run away?”Cheng Yaojin glared at Cheng Chumo." Get lost and defend the city tomorrow."”
"If you make another mistake, His Majesty may forgive you, but I won't!”
"Yes, I will do my best. Father, you should rest early. I will go to sleep.”Cheng Chumo cupped his fists and left.
Cheng Yaojin drank his tea and murmured," This kid makes sense. It seems that I can't drink casually in the future. If I really tell others, it will be troublesome…"
Cheng Chumo left the living room. Instead of returning to his room, he quietly left the mansion.
He mounted his horse and headed straight for Qin Qiong's residence.
Cheng Chumo had already made up his mind to inform Li Lizhi, but with his status, he couldn't enter the palace at will.
If he wanted to inform Li Lizhi, he had to find Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Huaiyu was now the centurion of the Thousand Bull Guard and was responsible for the safety of the palace. He had the opportunity to approach the Eternal Joy Palace Hall.
Moreover, Qin Huaiyu, him, and Li Lizhi grew up together and had a good relationship.
He trusted Qin Huaiyu.
Soon, Cheng Chumo arrived at Qin Manor and opened the door. He said a few words to the servants and went in.
The servants also recognized Cheng Chumo, so they couldn't stop him.
When they arrived at Qin Huaiyu's room, Cheng Chumo raised his hand and called for the door.
When Qin Huaiyu heard that Cheng Chumo had come, he was very surprised.
Cheng Chumo didn't say much. He found a pen and paper in the room, wrote a sentence, and handed it to Qin Huaiyu.
"Brother Qin, don't ask anything. Just secretly give this letter to Sister Zhi 'er.”
"Brother, thank you very much."
Qin Huaiyu was shocked." I can help you transfer the letter, but what do you want?”
Cheng Chumo really didn't know how to answer Qin Huaiyu." Brother Qin, this matter is very important. Anyway, just give the letter to Sister Zhi 'er."”
"You can ask Sister Zhi 'er about the rest. See if she tells you or not. I'm not too sure about the rest of the things.”
Qin Huaiyu saw that Cheng Chumo had already said so much, so he did not ask any more questions.
Moreover, Cheng Chumo was looking for him so late at night. It must be something big.
He put the letter away and said seriously,"Don't worry, I'll definitely do it."”
"Thank you. I'll be leaving first. It's not good for others to see me.”
"I'll send you off and inform the servants not to let them spread the news.”
"Yes, alright."
The two brothers walked out of the manor one after the other.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Cheng Chumo left.
Qin Huaiyu looked at Cheng Chumo's back and frowned." What happened?”
……
Dew Palace, Zhangsun Wugou's sleeping chamber.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, he hurriedly came out to welcome him." ChenQie welcomes Your Majesty.”
Li Er nodded. He walked in front of Zhangsun Wugou and held her hand." Get up."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhangsun Wugou stood up and saw that Li Er was in a sorry state. His clothes were wrinkled and dirty. He said in surprise,"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Let's talk inside." Li Er waved his hand and walked in.
Zhangsun Wugou followed in and dismissed the palace maids before helping Li Er wash up and change his clothes.
"Second brother, didn't you find a child protector? Why are you in such a sorry state?"
"Sigh, it's a long story." Li Er sighed and didn't say anything. Instead, he asked,""How was Zhi 'er today?"
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, a hint of melancholy appeared on his face." Still the same."”
"Eating a piece of snack every day and not leaving the Perpetual Joy Palace Hall. I've been locking myself up every day and my body has become much thinner.”
As he spoke, Zhangsun Wugou's eyes turned red.
It was said that daughters were the flesh of their parents 'hearts. Seeing his daughter so thin, how could Zhangsun Wugou not feel heartache?
She had wanted to persuade Li Er more than once, or she would have given Li Lizhi her wish.
However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Li Er.
Zhangsun Wugou knew that Li Er would never let Li Lizhi marry a commoner.
"Hmph, she asked for it." Li Er snorted coldly, but there was also a look of heartache in his eyes.
"Servant, zhen asks you something."
Li Er turned around and looked at Zhangsun Wugou, his expression sinking into dead water." You must answer me truthfully. You can't hide anything."”
Zhangsun Wugou saw how serious Li Er was and asked in puzzlement,""Second Brother, what is it?"
"Zhen asks you, did Zhi 'er ever mention to you that she…had a child?”
"What is it? A child?"
"How is this possible!" Zhangsun Wugou felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely dumbfounded.
